Global increases in environmental noise levels–arising from expansion of human
populations, transportation networks, and resource extraction–have catalysed a recent …

Urbanization leads to homogenization of avian communities through local extinction of rare
bird species and increasing numbers of the same common urban bird species over large …

On the occasion of the centenary of the discovery of the Lombard effect, we review the
literature on noise-dependent regulation of vocal amplitude in humans and other animals …

Anthropogenic (man-made) noise has changed the acoustic environment both on land and
underwater and is now recognized as a pollutant of international concern. Increasing …

Many animal species communicate with their mates through acoustic signals, but this
communication seems to become a struggle in urbanized areas because of increasing …

When animals live in cities, they have to adjust their behaviour and life histories to novel
environments. Noise pollution puts a severe constraint on vocal communication by …

Anthropogenic noise is now recognized as a major global pollutant. Rapidly burgeoning
research has identified impacts on individual behaviour and physiology through to …

The extensive literature documenting the ecological effects of roads has repeatedly
implicated noise as one of the causal factors. Recent studies of wildlife responses to noise …

The term 'synurbic'is sometimes used within the more recent urban ecology literature to refer
to a species that colonises or is found within urban ecosystems, but this is too simplistic an …

Anthropogenic noise is a major pollutant for organisms that live in urban areas. City birds
modify their songs in ways that can increase their communication potential in spite of noise …
